I'm no expert bro,and someone who actually knows what they are talking about will be along soon but I think you need to be more specific about which haro freestylers you mean as the specs changed from year to year.If you are talking about 85/86 masters and sports most of them i've seen seem to have a'me's on them(I think!)

What about these?

They are Fuan grips. They came on 84 FST's and Sports. That is the FST Colorway. The sport colorway was black with grey sleeves.
